Arizona moved to 2-0 in the 2025 season by molding necessity into advantage. A quick-struck 10-0 lead sprang from a Bryce Young fumble forced by Josh Sweat, then a Zaven Collins scoop-and-score capped the turnover spree that set the tone early.

The second-quarter surge blossomed with back-to-back red-zone threats and a late-half dagger: Greg Dortch’s 29-yard punt return set up a Murray-to-Wilson TD with 47 seconds left before the break, followed by a 71-yard march to James Conner’s score to start the third. The defense buckled late, but Calais Campbell sealed the win on a fourth-and-15 tackle as Arizona weathered Carolina’s rally and improved to 2-0 heading to San Francisco.

Two turnovers, decisive drives, and a closing stand. The Cardinals leaned on opportunism and timely stops to steady a young, imperfect offensive day, showing enough to keep bettors optimistic for a tough schedule ahead against the 49ers.
